Did you do them one at a time to remember not to lose which one goes where? Did you also look on the spark plugs for the "T, L" on it?

The only thing I can say is backtrack. If it ran fine before, and ALL you did (including removing battery cable for safety), then it should be in the same condition as before except with newer spark plugs...

When you say "it wouldnt start at all like always," do you mean you had problems starting the car before you changed the plugs and wires? Because if you did, then you haven't found the real problem yet.

In any case, it sounds to me like it's flooded.

how many people have fixed flooding issues and what method worked
